Hey Folks -
Total noob question: I got these 9V jacks from Tayda (part #A-991). I'm having trouble figuring out which lead off the jack is (+) and (-). Is this like caps and LEDs, where the longer lead is (+) and the shorter lead is (-)? The last 9V jacks I got had a diagram... these don't!
Also, I'm sure there's a tried-and-true method for troubleshooting this. As in, is the center always negative? Sides/sleeve always positive? If anyone has a pro tip, I'm all ears.
Thanks!
